Youth Like Fire

Although Cultural Revolution movies today seem to have strong and distinctive characteristics of a specific era, it is precisely this that makes it possible to remember the products of this specific period in today's dazzlingly diverse film world, and they can also bring strong nostalgia to the audience! This film is exactly such a film! During the "Cultural Revolution", technological innovation became the focus of political struggle in the rolling mill of Jiangnan Iron and Steel Company. A group of young workers headed by Liang Dongxia established an innovation group, claiming to convert the rolling mill into automation, and used this as an excuse to seize the design office. Although the director of the design office had the support of the director of the Revolutionary Committee, the party secretary of the Metallurgical Bureau was behind the young workers. Seeing the situation, Yu Congwu changed his approach. He first transferred Liang Dongxia's team to the design room, and then attracted Gao Lei, a young man who was serious about fame and fortune, and asked him to set up another show to act opposite Liang. When Liang Dongxia's team made results, Yu Congwu encouraged the director of the Revolutionary Committee to transfer Liang Dongxia out of the design room, and then stole the team's data to Gao Lei so that Gao Lei could come up with the design drawings before Liang Dongxia's team. At the meeting to review the drawings, Liang Dongxia exposed Yu's theft and criticized the wrong line executed by the director of the Revolutionary Committee, from which Gao Lei also received an education.
